X-Men ‘97 Was Great...At First

X-Men ‘97 Is The Best Piece of X-Men media we’ve gotten in a while, but after some retrospect, I wouldn’t say EVER. When you really look at a show from a greater overview, you see a lot great with X-Men ‘97, but you also see many, many issues. So many great characters exist in the form of Cyclops, Jubilee, Morph, Wolverine, Storm and more.
But there’s also many characters that in my opinion were absolutely ruined, such as Gambit, Jean Grey, Rogue and others. Many plot lines are also great and the complexity that they developed through the episodes, but then there are other storylines which destroy so much character value and impact of the show. That’s why I still don’t think X-Men ‘97 is PEAK X-Men as everyone is saying, because I feel like we really have to take a closer look beyond just the hype and that’s when the flaws start to show, which is of course, what I go over. Though, as always, thank you to all who have clicked on this video, and even more so to YOU reading this description.

To each their own. IMO, X-Men '97 isn't just perfect, it's godlike... there's no way in hell you'll convince me that it's a bad show.

I'm glad there are some people brave enough to point out the flaws of the show and it has to do with the way characters are written and rushing through so many great storylines. Rogue was definitely miswritten. They took away the integrity of the character, and that's just bad writing, and although I love Magneto as a villain and the occasional reluctant ally, the way he joined X-Men was all wrong. He never would have forced his way in as they made him do in this show, and his relationship with Rogue was rather creepy. They never stated how old she was when they had this relationship which made him look like a possible pedophile. Plus, there was no hint of this in the original show. Please keep with the continuity. Another thing that didn't make sense is the disconnect Rogue had with the rest of the team. The whole sisterhood thing between Jean and Storm was good, but why was Rogue left out of that. All three women were close and Jubilee was like the little sister and she also had very little scenes with the other women. I hope next season is written better, because this season was a bit of a mess. I'm hoping they just concentrate on the Apocalypse storyline and give resolution to that before moving on to something else. I didn't like how they created these horrific situations and then almost immediately dropped them. Don't show us something horrible and then pretend like it didn't happen. A few lines of dialog could have cleared a lot of that up. I only give it an 80%

Yeah, frankly I completely agree. So many important storylines were just added to create this constant stream of hype even though they deserved more time to develop and hit hard, and the entire series was a mess, and the clear hate the writers had for some characters like Gambit and disingenuous writing for characters like Rogue was absurd. The continuity flaws were insane too, and ultimately I feel that generally while most of the people on board who wrote the show did care for the characters and the X-Men in general, I think they just didn’t know much of what they were doing with the storylines and writing, and that balance of having a good level of knowledge and respect for these characters *along* with having a good execution of that through the writing, honesty and integrity to characters, and compelling dedication to plot lines is what was missing.
